If you dont have a jig saw but you have a hand saw
buy plywood because you wont be able to cut oak with the saw its to hard.

Step 1: Buy a 1 Foot by 1 Foot 1/4 Piece of Wood

I got mine at lowes. Just ask the people who work there can they show you where the 1/4 piece of woods are at. You will have to get a bigger piece like 2 by 2 they don't come as small as 1 foot by 1foot. I repeat the piece of wood you will but will be larger then what you need but it will be very very cheap. That way if you want you can make one then one with different design or use the wood for something else.

Step 2: FInd a Circle Around Your House the Measures 10 Inches Across.

Step 3: Draw the Ying Yang Design

Step 4: Time to Get Out the Drill and Jigsaw

take your time when doing this my dad had to be really calm to cut out the chakram into a nice circle. You will need the drill for the inside ying yang shapes. Drill a whole in the ying yang shape basically on its line. Then stick the blade of the saw and start cutting away. be careful when using plywood it is easy to chip and will look ugly as fuck when you finish i would suggest oak better but again if you dont have a jigsaw the plywood will be alright as long as you take your time and when done if it looks ugly sand it really really good so you wont get cut with splinters. I know i did and it hurted alot. Also wear goggles. My dad mest up his eye because of the dust.

Step 8: PRIME the Front and Back

Prime the whole thing very very good then let it dry its just like paint so dont try to flip it right away and paint the prime is still wet. Then what ever color of paint your going to use for the bar on the chakram have that really to paint when the prime is dry. I used Wood stain.

Step 11: Paint the Whole Circle Including the Edges

Step 12: After You Let It Dry This Wat Your Chakram Should Look Like You Can Make It Llook Better Than Mine Though

I was in a rush and this is my first time making anything but you using your brain might be able to make it look more like Xena's but anyways this one is still cool when you dont have the money to be buying the expensive ones and want to make something yourself for a change. ITs pretty cool. Please comment idf you look it:) i would appreiciate it . And one more thing if yu have a myspace add me mine is

chakram are a lot smaller than that. and they don't have that piece in the middle. they're like 3" to 5" across and about a half inch between inner diameter and outer diameter. just for those that want a realistic one. and for those people that make realistic ones, i hope you know how to throw them!!! just for reference to others.

actually this is a realistic one google it chakram varies in all sizes and it s\dosent matter how big or small they are becuase they were different sizes in the past and this is Xena's chakram the ying yang one so.... just google it :)
